What Humanity Funds does

Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The Humanity Funds initiated a tripartite agreement with the Ukrainian Non-Profit Save Ukraine and Ohmatdyt Hospital in Kyiv for a Holistic approach to address the health needs of women. With the financial and advisory support of The Humanity Funds Save Ukraine operates community health and rehabilitation centers for women and children. Ohmatdyt hospital is taking advantage of its close relationship with thousands of mothers who bring their children to the hospital to begin a program of health support for these women. With the assistance of The Humanity Funds the hospital has just renovated and equipped a clinic for breast cancer screening. The plan is to extend this effort into mobile services to include vaccination against cervical cancer and mobile breast screening capabilities. In addition THF began a concerted effort to help Ukraine spread awareness of Ukrainian culture by bringing to the US a culturally unique orchestra for a performance at Seattles Benaroya Hall.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Bringing public awareness of the plight of children living in or rescued from occupied territories has been a prime objective of The Humanity Funds. To this end we have produced a documentary about a girl and her family rescued from occupied territory and returned to Kyiv their harrowing escape their emotional suffering and their recovery.

To counter his effort it is important to make sure the world understands the scope and breadth of that culture and its deep roots in Ukraine. To advance this objective The Humanity Funds brought the Kyiv Classic Orchestra to Seattle for a highly successful performance in Seattles Benaroya Hall.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $39k to $77k (+99%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2023 54% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of HUMANITY FUNDS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (74% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $15k → $40k.
5 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of HUMANITY FUNDS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
HUMANITY FUNDS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
82% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund HUMANITY FUNDS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 63% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
70% of HUMANITY FUNDS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $73k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Washington, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $169k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
